See, I get that you're a hipster and hate whatevers mainstream whatever. But I think The Fame and The Fame Monster were good Pop albums, (good pop lul wat?) I appreciate pop music for what it is - fun. There is a time and a place for everything, including pop music and I think her first album was a perfect example of this it was a great album with strong singles and very few low points (though there was Summerboy). Born This Way is trying too hard.
